Title: Fatty Food Consumption and Its Effects on Liver Health
Abstract :
Fat is essential for health. Some fats are beneficial for health & some are harmful. The type of fat consumed is more important than
the amount of fat consumed. This is a review paper where different studies and views of various authors are observed for getting
information and stats, many websites like Pubmed, Google Scholars etc and journals by the various author have been referred
by the researcher. The consumption of dietary fats and its effect on health. Eating too much and the wrong kinds of fats, such as
saturated and trans fat, may rise levels of low-density lipoprotein or LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. Elevated LDL cholesterol in the
blood may increase a person’s risk of heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes and liver disease. Both poly- and monounsaturated fats
help in lowering low-density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol) and subsequently reducing the risk of heart disease. It is recommended
to consume a diet that is low in saturated and trans fats, and high in polyunsaturated fats, limiting the intake of most saturated
fats and consuming enough unsaturated fats, is the ideal approach to a healthful diet in the long-term. Dietary changes can have
